Oh, yeah, the episode.
I think the only weak part of the episode was actually, and surprisingly, the news. The "are you wearing that for a bet" doesn't have quite the staying power, or the comedy, as last series' "I was on the internet and I found THIS" running joke. The news was actually rather straightforward and informative, not as much joking around as they normally do during the news.
As for the SIARPC, I was surprised. Will Young and Jezza actually had a pretty good chemistry together, sort of an
Odd Couple thing going for them. I think they may have accidentally stumbled upon a new show... maybe not for the BBC, but ITV might want to go for it.
(And thankfully this isn't a US show, or they'd find some way to wedge an actual singing performance into the show.)
I question calling the ZR1 a "muscle car." The Challenger is a muscle car. The forthcoming Camaro is a muscle car. The Cadillac is rather loosely a muscle car. The 'Vette is a sports car, plain and simple, as Jeremy discovered. (As an aside, Chevrolet should be watching and learning from this episode and this thread. Someone at GM should now be saying "huh. Maybe we should be getting this thing over to UK already.")
I think I'm going to go with a... 9. Yeah, that sounds fair.
